Appendix: Understanding Fonts

Appendix

temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset 
the printer. Scalable fonts provide the flexibility of printing in 
many different point sizes.

Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading 
fonts to the printer. PCL 5 emulation uses Intellifont, Type 1, and 
TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript Level 2 emulation uses Type 1 
and TrueType scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scal-
able fonts available in these different font formats from numerous 
font suppliers.

If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts 
or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may 
need to purchase additional memory for your printer. See “Printer 
Memory” on page 210 for more information.

Your printer comes equipped with resident fonts stored perma-
nently in printer memory. Most fonts are available in 
PCL 5 emulation and PostScript Level 2 emulation. Some of the 
most popular typefaces, like Courier and Times New Roman, are 
available for all printer languages. To print a list of fonts, select
